You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Refer to this page

For a lesson on how 3x3 determinants work
Following the template mentioned on that page, we would have these steps:
This means
-40x-4 = 716
I'll let you take over to finish solving for x.
Tip:
You can use GeoGebra's CAS feature to verify the determinant is equal to -40x-4
CAS stands for Computer Algebra System
I typed this in for the input
Determinant({{2,3x,-2},{0,-2,-2},{6,5,x}})
You must be in the CAS mode or else the calculation won't work. This is due to the presence of the variable x.

Once you determine the numeric value of x, you can switch back to regular calculator mode. Though you could stick to CAS as well.
Extra side note:
The determinant of the 2x2 matrix  is
